unsigned int and unsigned long are the same size in 32 bit C/C++, but are mangled differently when using C++ name mangling. unsigned long may not be 32 bits on all platforms, so to portably match the size used by the native C/C++ compiler you should use the c_ulong aliases. The problem with name mangling is avoided in this case as you're not using C++ name mangling, you're using stdcall name mangling, which only keeps track of argument sizes, not their types.
